Not sure if any of you are fans of Supcase, but they have three different styled cases available on Amazon for Pre-Order. Two come out on the 25th, and one on the 30th supposedly.

I am probably going to hold off until I see some bumpers and if I don't, that first link would be my second option.

I had the second case that you linked on my nexus 6 and I loved it. Plenty of grip, it didn't feel as bulky as a otterbox and it was only $20
I want to get this case but i'm concerned about the dept of the outer lip from video and pics i've seen it dosen't look like your phone is protected very much from flat falls.
I have the Supcase Unicorn Beetle on my Nexus 6 and I love it. I just emailed them a few days ago and they said they had no news on the Moto X Pure. Now all I need is a good plastic screen protector and I will finally order this phone!
I definitely recommend their cases btw.
Getting better! Still need a clear back case though :[

Nope. Its not available yet but I did look at videos of the same case for other phones and it looks good. Its a toss up between the ib;ason or the supcase with the frost back. Im only worried about the clear getting scratched. It says its scratch resistant but it will get scratched eventually

Pretty good fit and feel? I want a clear or greyscale tpu case but would do something like this in the mean time.
Just ordered the frost/black (http://amzn.to/1Ljhpwk)
Going to look into getting a Note 4 or 5 Seidio holster and see if it fits since Seidio has no plans to support the MXPE
Crackberry/ShopAndroid has holsters. Shipping starts at $3.95 and free shipping for orders over $50. Easy returns also.
These are the holsters I've found that may work with SUPCASE, Spigen and probably Incipio

Nice. Scratches and scuff on it already? There goes being "scratch resistant". This is one of the reasons why I don't get all clear cases. They'll scuff and they end up looking like a frost case.
The lock tabs aren't very durable. I broke one taking the case off. I wouldn't trust a decent drop with the clear case as i worry about the impact opening the case and exposing the phone anyways. Feel wise it's OK, but prefer the bumper that came with it.

Yeah I know but since they are adding one of their iPhone type cases to the Nexus One about every two weeks I think later on they will have one of the best selections of snap on cases in the future.
the black case is very intriguing but the pictures suck at showing how it covers the phone, post pictures when you get it????

I'm still waiting for it but when I get I'll take some pictures. Also I should be getting a chrome one from Case-mate this week, I'll post pics of that one to.
I got the ultra-case - The One yesterday. It fits the phone well, but does cover the dock pins even though they say it does not. Oh well, it prolly would not fit in a dock with the case anyhow.
I did not know what I was going to do for case/skin, etc so I bought this case, and a BSE skin. I will definitely be using the skin over the case.
Case feel like a cheap hard rubber case that can be bought for iphones for $3 all day long.. I was dissapointed to say the least. I guess I'll just have to wait for otterbox to kick out their cases for these phones.
I'm sending the case back and applying my BSE skin now...

I bought the Case-Mate Barely There case for my Nexus One. Just came in today. If anyone is familiar with the Incipio Feathercase for the iPhone, this case very similar to that one. Good protection without the added bulk of most cases. Still small enough to fit in one of those belt holster deals.

Yeah I got it, its kind of hard to take a picture since its chrome. I will tell you this the chrome snap-on case from Case-mate is feels way better than the Black by Ultra-case. The black one feels some what loose like it might come off, I can definitely recommend buying the chrome one it looks sweet and has a perfect fit. When it comes to shipping I paid Ultra-case $19.99 for 2-4day delivery from Hong Kong to the U.S., well it took 21days that is their $2.00 delivery option so I had to email them and get my $18 back, I first ordered on March 3rd and they said I would be refunded but I'm still waiting for it to show up on my credit card. With Case-mate I payed $5.92 for 2-4day delivery and I received it in 4 days.

They are the same and you can find them for $5 if you look harder on ebay, I have bought 3 for $12 before for my Mytouch 3G. The only thing that is unique about Ultra-cases.com is thier snap-on cases because hardly anybody makes them for the Nexus One mosts of these type of cases are for the iPhone, I still think the chrome one from Case-mate is better. Check these out:

I just received that Seidio Holster case, it works great. I didn't want to get one of the other cases since they cover up the engraving I had done. Bravo Seidio!

We are opening up orders now as the first shipment is limited to 1500 pieces. We are estimating a ship date to customers of Tuesday December 4th assuming there are no delays in transit. Pictures will be posted the day they arrive."
Hope this helps! It will be a great case once it arrives, they have really good customer service as well.
I ordered one yesterday because it's probably the best tpu case available at the moment.
I don't want some cheap tpu case that doesn't fit well and looks crappy. Even if it isn't the best looking case, I guarantee its better than anything available on the market right now for tpu cases.
EDIT: use code "xda" for a 10% discount. Worked for me yesterday.

Looking at iPhone 5 review, people seem to be complaining about the aluminum being scratched by the case.
Would that be due to a build-up of dirt inside the case?
I haven't received my Nexus 4 yet, but I really want to protect the delicate aluminum and glass backing, which is why I'm also putting a Skinomi full body guard on it as well as an S-line case.
Please give some feedback for this case when you get it because it looks like a really nice case overall :good:

I was looking at the XtremeGuard, and it definitely was a great deal!
However, I decided to get the full body Skinomi off Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/Skinomi-TechSkin-Protector-Protective-Lifetime/dp/B009W6C4FW/ref=pd_sim_cps_3
It was a little pricier, and it only came with one, but I figured that with the warranty I only really need one.
Additionally, it provided guards for the edges. It might be difficult to get them on just right, but protecting the chrome is really important to me!
Protecting the super nice back is important too.
I ordered one.

Went ahead and ordered. Really like the Diztronic TPU case for my HTC One S - it's made of high quality plastic and has a premium feel to it.
Here's a link to the Diztronic matte black case for the Optimus G: http://www.amazon.com/Diztronic-Flexible-Optimus-Sprint-Rogers/dp/B00A567462/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1354507077&sr=8-11&keywords=diztronic+tpu
Looks great - simple, clean, thin. I haven't actually seen the back of my phone since I first received it so I'm not too bothered with covering up the disco.
Just ordered mine successfully using the "XDA" coupon code as well.
I guess we'll see how it is. Everyone seems to like their cases for other phones.
Case material?
So I have never owned a TPU case, or anything other than hard plastic.
How "rubbery" is this guy? Would it be a pain taking it out of a pocket? Does it attract lint/etc?
I have the rearth case, but it's a little slick...
Either vapor or someone let the cat out of the bag early.

Its funny how we here on xda are going through cases trying to find the best one to protect our phone but there really hasnt been anyone to step up and make a good protective case. Most of the time they're the small, thin or ones that does not protect the entire phone. There are some out there but the bigger named ones that are known for more rugged cases haven't made one just because it isnt a flagship of a carrier...

I will not buy Otterbox again. They did not make a case for Galaxy SII, and now Nexus 4.
And yet they made/make two for the GNex. Go fig. Maybe they didn't sell as many as they thought they would and are now Nexus gun shy.

I have had a commuter case for every phone I have owned over the years. Over the last few cases I have also bought a ballistic case and the quality is much higher. I will buy the ballistic over Otterbox commuter any day.
My main reason is because the back of the commuter case slides off everything. It has no grip like the ballistic. Additionally the ballistic has edge protection with minimal bulk. Finally the TPU quality is different for both brands. Otterbox is way to soft and allows sand to get in the edges.
Just my two cents from years with both manufacturers.
Sent from my Nexus 4
Meh. A Commuter case would have competition, notably from Ballistic. A Defender case, on the other hand, with its integrated screen protector ... that I would by. If Otterbox doesn't finally decide to produce it in 2014.

Funny. That facebook reply was to me...I asked if it meant at all or just unsure. Then I come on here and see you guys talking about it. Nice. See. I help the community when I'm not even actually participating in the thread

Haha yeah I also posted on their fb and got the same response. I'm just surprised how some of these companies only want to make cases that will make them most profit and they don't know the case demand this phone has just because its not a flagship carrier phone.. I see pieces of plastic go for $10-20 on eBay w/ 700-900 sold and barely protects the phone. Heck I even got the lg bumper and wasnt too satisfied with it so I gave it to my bro and im sure people on here are willing to pay extra for better cases.

I have also asked on Otterbox's facebook several times and every time they said they have no plans to make a case for the Nexus 4. So I went and ordered this case off ebay for Just under $10.

how do you like that one? i have the exact armor which is nice except it's a little slippery on the sides.
Both Seidio and Ballistic are in the process of making cases for our devices. I've had ballistic cases for my last 2 Nexii. They work great and look good for a big bulky case. Ive preordered the active case from Seidio and theirs are every bit as high end as otter box. Otter doesn't seem to make as high quality case for devices that aren't iPhone anyway.

It is rather disappointing, but it's not unreadable for a company to want to make a profit. Especially with the supply problems and order uncertainty, it cant be an easy judgement to make on whether the costs of a production run are going to sell well enough.
Hopefully the other robust cases in the works from other manufacturers will be good..
im sure there will be some nice rugged cases for our phone, it seems to always take longer for any android phone maybe except the galaxy S line.
Otterbox is overrated and overpriced imo, i bought the commuter for my Gnex and found it very bulky(even for a dual layer) and the silicone is a huge lint magnet. The plastic shell is also too slippery for me.
i bought this dual layer case in the mean time until something better comes.

Interesting. Have you received it? I don't mean to hijack this Otterbox thread (as useless as Otterbox itself has made it), so have you posted about your impressions about this case you bought in a dedicated thread?

sure, if there's no thread on it by the time i get it(hopefully next week) then ill take some pics and post a short review.
Ballistic is coming soon as well as Seidio active. The seidio can use a holster, and both are just as high quality as otter box. I personally don't like how otter looks and from what I've seen of their android cases, they don't put the effort in with designing them like they do the iPhone.

Well thanks to Otterbox this will be the first device I use without their protection. I was hoping we might see a Trident case, they have a nice design going on their Aegis series cases.
I need help finding a case that has a belt holster, the phone is too big and too hard to put into my pants sometimes and is very frustrating. My note 2 I used the platinum case. However I would prefer a more 'gel grip' case if possible.
Edit: Must be white!
Yes let me know too!
Yeah I would be interested too. Maybe just a holster as I like the case I have already.
Buy the pelican case through AT&T. Best case out by FAR
I ordered 2 through amazon. The Encased and Cellbee brands. Waiting for them to arrive to seenif they are any good.

i have this in black. its not bad. plenty of protection, built in screen protector (at least till there are some decent glass ones, then its coming off or i'll get a uag to go with it. i cut off the dust covers to the usb and headphone, i just dont like them on any case. i'd rate it a 6 or 7/10. i prefer uag though.
it comes with a holster. not as good of one as say otterbox, but it works and keeps it secure. just not as fluid in and out of it.
Too bad that it must be white. My Seidio Surface is perfect for me.

I'm looking forward to getting my Surface today but even more forward to Seidio releasing the Convert add on kit so I can order that and their Quest car mount.
I think you'll like it. I had the Speigen cases just to get by, and paid more than I needed to for the Seidio on Preorder overnight, but man the thing is almost perfect. I added a flygrip to it which makes it complete for me, obviously not for everyone, but certainly functional. Wish I got just a plain black flygrip, but will have to manage for now.

Eventually when Best Buy gets them they sell the Surface w/ holster for $20 less than Seidio. It's called their Platinum series. But I needed some protection 2 weeks ago when I got the phone. This Seidio Surface is the 4th case I've ordered, the first three orders were cancelled. Between that and the glass screen protector issue it has been a real PITA trying to protect this phone.
My Seidio Surface is junk. It feels cheap around the edges, doesn't seem 100% snug, plus the the top section and the bottom section slide around a little bit at the connection. I am really disappointed in Seidio .

If mine fits like that I'll send it back. If I wasn't able to turn the Surface into the Convert model I never would have ordered it. I think it's way overpriced and underfeatured. Doesn't even have covers for the side rocker switches let alone dust caps for the headphone jack & mini USB port. For $35 + freight to me that's too much money for what the case offers.
to me it has the feeling of a cheap case made in china bought off ebay. ..
Why not look at getting a leather type case that will fit the phone with a case. That's what I'm doing. I have the Incipio case and ordered a leather belt pouch to hold it. I prefer a belt clip, but I am hesitant to use Seidio anymore since my Note 2 days. I had the Surface for the Note 2 and it scratched the heck outta the phone's frame.
I've had better luck with rubber base cases. On my Note 2, I switched to the Otterbox Commuter with its rubber liner and was scratch free. That's why I'm trying the Incipio 2 piece case that has a rubber skin and a plastic outer shell like the Otterbox Commuter.
Thank you all for all of your advice, I am going with the last option of adding a clip that will be detachable. I have to have white, I just don't like the black on white...being that my phone is white... So I ordered this case.

Out of curiosity what kind of belt clip are you going to use that will be detachable for this case?

I'm a modder at heart. So most likely like the guy above did with the clip on the case, however I'm doing research currently to find a way to remove it so the clip can stay on your belt.
Something like this, but even more low profile..

On the Android Central forums I think somebody has one of those and reviewed it briefly.

I ws going to get that one, but I needed a white one. so I will create my own modded case
EvolutiveLabs is currently experimenting with a design for a RhinoShield case (presumably a backless bumper case).
A RhinoShield case will be made for the new Samsung Galaxy Note 7. We are experimenting on a new design for this device. If you are interested in knowing more, please do subscribe to this list and we will keep you updated once we have more information.
The current release date is September. Pre-Order will start later this August.
Anyone that's interested in being notified on the latest news/pre-order/etc.. can sign-up here:
http://www.evolutivelabs.com/products/galaxy-note-7-case
Looks like a decent case. I'll be looking forward to it.
Do any other backless bumper cases exist? I never found one for the Note 5 and would like to for the 7. The back on a bumper case is pointless and just adds thickness.

I ordered an Aluminum Backless Bumper from eBay a couple days ago. There's a few color options, but, I selected the black, should look nice with the Black Onyx model:

Looks sweet. Though, I'd like at least like a thin back with the honeycomb pattern they advertise for some minor protection, since it's all glass on the back, too.
Im afraid of this cause what if it lands flat on jts back? No protection at all.
I thought the whole point of a bumper was to be raised on the front and back so it can land on flat surfaces on either side and not damage the front or back. That's what makes it a bumper and not a regular case.

Thinking about taking a razor blade to the back of one of these Ringke cases I got for $1 to see if I can make my own bumper case. If no one will make a real bumper, maybe we can at least find the fake bumper case that can be easily converted into a real bumper case.

I'll probably do likewise,the Poetic Affinity case comes to mind.
The EvoLutive Labs/RhinoShield bumper for the HTC 10 adds too much width in the grip.
Some complained about the stiffness of the buttons as well.
I have no problem w/the latter,but,I did find the added width was too much & mine ended up in the land of misfit phone accessories after 1-2 days of use,which was a bummer @ $30..............
This was my favorite case for the note 5, can't wait to try this out especially since they didn't make one for the SD Edge
Good news! The Ringke Fusion, Fusion Mirror, and Frame are all two different types of plastic glued together, so with some bending and a razor blade to start the cut, you can separate them and throw away the back pretty cleanly. I don't have my Note 7 yet to see if it still keeps the camera off the table, and I'm not sure how much I stretched it pulling them apart, but it looks to be exactly what I wanted. Picture attached. These were $1 or $2 with coupon on Amazon a week or two ago. The fourth one I have from Ringke, the Air, is all TPU with no clear line to cut through, so I'm not even going to attempt making that one backless.

Well the question now will be...how well it will hold the phone..since it's just tpu..
I would imagine taking it out of your pockets will dislodge it from your make-shift bumper case

You are correct. The Fusion and Fusion Mirror were too flimsy on their own. The Frame case, however, with its plastic reinforcement wrapping around the TPU, is pretty decent. If you're going to modify a case to turn it into a backless bumper, I recommend only the Ringke Frame of those.

Have you tried it with the frame or just guessing? I'm very curious if this will work because I don't like cases, I prefer bumpers.

I'm with you. It looks good for sure. But because of the lack of back support, I'll have to pass.
Although looking forward to seeing the pics.
The Frame does work and is sturdy. I'll take a photo soon. Not sure what the advantage of back support is. We don't have front support. We have the lip sticking out on both sides to protect both equally.
